Plans of the new head of Starbucks

Brian Niccol has been the president of the coffeehouse chain since September 2024. Since 2018, Niccol managed the Chipotle Burrito chain. As president, he contributed to doubling its revenues from $4.5 (CAD 6.5) billion to $9.9 (CAD 14) billion. He is considered one of the best in the industry.

After four months as CEO of the Starbucks chain, he presented a series of actions aimed at improving the company's performance. According to Reuters, Starbucks is currently grappling with increasing competition and declining demand in the U.S. and China.

— Our size and structure can slow us down, with too many layers, managers of small teams, and roles focused mainly on coordinating work — Niccol wrote in a message to employees. He added that the company will analyze the role and structure of support teams worldwide.
